This may be a controversial topic for some, and it’s not my intention to cause offence.
However, I will say no, it’s not.
And I don’t think people should be belittled or feel bad for doing so.
To some, it’s a case of self-hatred, but I don’t think so in all cases.
IMHO, these are the main reasons why a person shouldn’t feel bad for dating this way:
- You don’t care about race, or don’t make distinctions. So to you, people are people, and provided they’re attractive, you don’t care about their racial background.
- You are of x race, but grew up predominantly around y race. So you have become used to being around y race, and thus formed attractions to y race.
- It’s instinctual, and not something you can help. In a way, it’s like people who go after blondes exclusively, or short men/women, or intelligent men/women. It’s not a conscious thing, but something subconsciously one just likes and can’t explain why.
And since we know today that race is a social construct, then the norms/morals of long ago shouldn’t apply. Discouraging interracial dating made sense (in a way) when blacks were slaves in the USA or other countries, but today it doesn’t and shouldn’t apply.
So don’t let the opinions of others dissuade you, and date whomever you please on any basis. Dating is really to find somebody who makes YOU happy, so it’s your life, and date people who add value in whichever way this is. J

I don't see interracial dating as a big deal however I never understood how people date just one race exclusively especially if it's outside their own. There are so many interesting people out there. But everyone had their own taste I suppose.
humans are humans, i don't see why it matters in any event.
Of course. I just think it's natural to be attracted to more than just one race but that's just me.
